Tv hacker: I'll write code to hack their security cameras

Tv hacker: I'm in

Me: go fuck yourself you fucking fuck

Lol well someone fucked up.

Get into bed.

Gets all comfy.

About to drift off.

Realizes solution for the problem I have spent all week on.

Now wide awake.

Guess who's not sleeping tonight!

500 kbps hotel wifi my ass. I hijacked the smart TV's Ethernet connection and voila: 100mbps

My stressball went on vacation

Well the hacker was hacked today... God damn you equifax!! I will get my revenge.

In a moment of boredom I decided to pen test the new system I've been writing on the live server. Ran sqlmap but forgot to proxy my connection.

DDOS protection kicked in and blocked the entire offices connection to the server, had to drive home quickly to use my home internet to un-blacklist my office ip. 😂

Here you guys go, you're welcome. https://codetee.com/products/...

This is like..... Spot on. 😂

On a break I went into a Best Buy to browse laptops. I had no intention on buying from them because they suck, but I just wanted to touch a few and look at specs. A salesman then thought it was a smart idea to approach me. Immediately, he was talking down to me about specs and asking if I needed it for email, Facebook, Instagram, and the like. I'll be honest, I am super girlie in my appearance and mannerisms. So I get it, I suppose. The big pseudo-nerd is going to help the little girl find a cute, social media laptop. He actually walked me over to a pink HP Stream lol. Sure, I like pink, but I don't want a useless paperweight of a machine. When I mentioned I need a new rig for coding, he actually chuckled and said "really?". So I replied "yes really, you presumptuous cockbag" and walked out. Needless to say, I won't be buying there.

I hate it when you just want to wash your hands and this happens!

I have really been digging the Material Theme for Sublime and JetBrains IDE's.

I recently met a young fella (14yo) playing League of Legends. He asked:
- What do you do for a living?
- I'm a programmer, do you know anything about programming?
- I don't, actually.

Apparently he was playing from a LAN Gaming center 'cause he didn't have a computer at home (his computer had broken and these Lan centers are pretty affordable).
I figured I could explain to him what was it and what super powers you could get from it. Turns out I recommended a JS course in codecademy and now he goes to the LAN center every day to study programming (he got really into it!).
Now he always pings me with questions about JS and apparently he's learning a ton! He had almost no English skills too (we're Brazilian), and because most of the material in the internet is in English he found himself some free English courses and he's now taking them!

Knowledge is free on the internet and I guess he's just realized that.

Not exactly a rant guys, just figured it was a nice story to tell :)

My friends be like...

So recently I wanted to make a backup of my phone and something unexpected showed up :o

This is love 😍😍😍

It's funny because this is real :-/

Definitely not malware!

For the love of Arch Linux 😍😍😍

You've heard of ROT13, now get ready for ROT26. This new and improved algorithm is TWICE as secure as ROT13 due to letters being shifted /twice/ as much.

There's even an API for this encryption service, for all ease of programming integration needs!

Mom : My washing machine is not working.
Please fix it.
Me : I am a computer engineer.
Mom : You are an engineer though.
Me : That's not how it works.

2 hours and many YouTube tutorials later
Me : It's done.
Mom : Didn't I tell you you can do it.

It's a constant battle

Making progress on the devRantron website 👌

The first few seconds after you clicked post on your stackoverflow question...

Today I found this sticker in the Microsoft merchandise shop.
Now I don't know what to do. I find this epic, but I don't really like Windows. 😥

Cybersecurity books @Humble Bundle

https://humblebundle.com/books/...

There is a really great Humble Book Bundle at the moment, starting at 1$. The bundle contains several cyber security books ("Practical Reverse Engineering" and "Security Engineering" have a good reputation).

Don't lie on your CV.

Every single day.

Sometimes I admire Linus Torvalds more for Git than for the Linux kernel.
